Bell Bottomed Tear

you're welcome to share your favourates with me

This is the dinner prepared

This is the dress that I made

This is the child I brought up

And this is the woman you laid

This is the woman you laid

This is the perfume I wore

This is the hotel we stayed

This is the way that I lay

And this is the woman you laid

This is the woman you laid

We promise ourselves this is no one-night stand

Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band

And I’m thrilled by gentlest touch of your hand we pretend

There’s a tear, there’s a tear

Not through confusion through fear, through fear

This is the smile that I wore

This is the song that we played

This is the way that I lay

And this is the woman you laid, this is the woman you laid

Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret

A kiss and goodbye and a long cigarette

But the pillow I lay on is cold and it’s wet

Can’t pretend

It’s a tear, it’s a tear

Not through confusion, through fear, through fear

And knowing at least that love came so near

Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone

Root out the photos you’ve already shown

Cos this is one night you won’t sleep alone

Just one night

There’s a tear there’s a tear

Not through confusion through fear, through fear

And knowing at least that love came so near

Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

There’s a tear, there’s a tear

Not through confusion, through fear

Not through confusion, through fear.
